According to IMDB:
"Blood Diamond is based on a script by American screenwriter Charles Leavitt, who reworked an earlier script titled Okavango. Leavitt's script was subsequently reworked by writers Ed Zwick and Marshall Herskovitz."
All movies begin with a story, and Leavitt's original story, Okavango, apparently caught the attention of producers willing to fund the film.
Beginning in the 1970s, the crime of mining and trading blood diamonds to fund terrorism, rebel uprisings and other human acts of mayhem, became known based on news reports from the countries affected. Apparently, Leavitt crafted a great story based on real life events.
